Starting Over after Grief
I have been a member of MFP for quite some time, and I was very close to my goal weight last fall, maybe 7 pounds to go. My mom died in September 2022, and I just gave up. I have been struggling very hard over the past year, gained 50 pounds, feeling very discouraged and embarrassed about it. This Saturday marks one year…

Back to MFP after Weight Gain
I didn't want to post in Introductions because I am not new to MFP. I lost over 50 pounds last year, then rapidly gained most of it back. I hate how I look and feel. I am ready to get back on track and take much better care of myself. Since I have been gone a while, a lot of my friends here are now inactive, so I am…

Starting Over at 45!
Hello! I was doing very well last year and went from 217 pounds down to 152. Early this year, I just gave up, lost my grip, and let myself go. I am back up to 200 pounds. I am embarrassed and disappointed and frustrated. I am starting all over again and could really use some support, a kick in the rear, and friends who…

5 Daily Goals Support Group
Hello! This isn't a competitive challenge, more like a support group to focus on making daily little changes to take better care of ourselves. I wanted to include self-care as a goal since I think it is so important, especially when you are starting over after a stumble (or, as in my case, a complete crash and burn!) Here…

Athlean X Workout Program Questions
I follow Jeff Cavaliere and Athlean X on YouTube and really like him. I also just started using the 6 Pack Promise app for my abs workout.

Starting New Round of Shaun T's Insanity
Over the summer, I did a round of Insanity, and I got great results (lost weight, gained a lot of endurance). I got lazy since then but want to get back in gear. I am starting another round of Insanity on Monday the 20th. Anyone out there already doing Insanity or getting ready to start it, who would like to be buddies and…

Losing My Focus after Wedding
I got married about 2 weeks ago, and I kept my motivation and focus for several months and lost 60 pounds before the wedding. Any time I wanted to skip a workout or overeat, I thought of the wedding and how I wanted to look and feel on that day. It kept me on track. Now that the wedding is over, I feel like I have lost my…

TickerFactory Issue?
This is not a question about MyFitnessPal, but I assume some people here use TickerFactory.com to track either weight loss or exercise. I have been using a TickerFactory tracker for my exercise minutes, and I find it motivating to add my minutes after each workout. (I am easily amused.) The last week or so, TickerFactory…

Long Hair and Workouts
I have pretty long hair, not quite to my waist but well past my shoulders. It is fine and likes to tangle very easily! I have a question for other long-haired people who work out. How do you take care of your hair? My biggest issue is tangles and knots from my hair getting sweaty. It won't stay in a bun (it will just slide…

Calcium Supplement for Lactose-Intolerant People
My doctor recently suggested that I start taking a calcium and vitamin D supplement. I tried a chewable version from Target, and because I am lactose-intolerant, it gave me stomach pains and will not be pleasant to take every day. I have been searching for a calcium and vitamin D supplement that I can take even if I am…

Is This Leslie?
I tried a workout on YouTube last night, and some comments under the video indicated the instructor in this video is Leslie Sansone. It's a very old workout video though, and not the greatest quality, and the intro title isn't part of the video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNKYP_RXq1Q Does anyone know if this is Leslie…

Walk It Off in 30 Days Challenge
Is anyone participating in Leslie's Walk It Off in 30 Days Challenge? I don't have a Twitter account, so I didn't officially join the challenge, but I read her blog post about the challenge and watched the video she posted (http://www.walkathome.com/sansone/walk-it-off-in-30-days-challenge-week-1/). I like that she posted…

Please Hold Me Accountable!
I was sick all last week, and I have been using that as an excuse to not work out. I am still just a bit sniffly today, but no fever, nothing serious that would stop me from working out. I know if I don't make a promise to work out this evening, I will likely find another excuse to skip it. So...please hold me accountable!…

Sparkly "Walk" Top
I have noticed in a few Leslie Sansone workouts, she is wearing a cool tank top with "Walk" spelled out in sparkly letters. I visited her website store, but I didn't see a top like that. Does anyone know if that top is or has been available for sale? I love it! Here are a few images I found online of the top:
